Navigating the Challenges of Starting a Digital Stationery Business: A Beginner's Journey

Starting a digital stationery business from scratch can be overwhelming, especially for someone new to entrepreneurship. In this blog post, I'll share my novice experience in launching a business, tackling tasks like opening an online store, crafting product descriptions with ChatGPT's assistance, creating visuals using Affinity Suite, conducting market research with tools like Everbee for effective keyword usage, pricing products, and more.

The learning curve intensifies as I manage both Etsy and Shopify stores. On Shopify, challenges include website customization, adding applications (some with subscriptions), and exploring Google Workspace for a professional email address and product storage.

All of this unfolds during my precious few free hours after a full workday. Despite the hurdles, the internal satisfaction of making progress and the hope that things will flow smoothly over time keep me going.

Starting a business is a journey, and embracing each step, no matter how small, brings its own rewards. Let's navigate these challenges together and celebrate the triumphs along the way.
